i was woundering if a fully grown convict would eat danios,
i've had the danios for about 4-6 months and the convict i would get is about one inch , so at full size would a convict eat them?

thanks

If it could, I suppose it would eat them. Danios are really fast fish though, so the convict would have trouble catching up with them. What kind of danios are they? If they are giant danios, they would be too big for a convict to eat, anyways. I guess it just depends on how well the convict tolerates them.



And when he gets to Heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: "One more Marine reporting, Sir! I've served my time in Hell."

I'm concerned about the long fins. They might be too slow to be in a tank with convicts.
